drive is not toast yet Pc_Eye, its still good, and no i cant afford to send it to professional recovery service

When did you last use the Linux disks? If you are now using a different optical drive then the one the disks were burned that will often account for disks not being read or to load up properly. I've tossed a few frisbies here recently when old backups on cd-rs could no longer be read.

I copied the entire primary off of more then one drive to recover files using the free Linux drive tool. Two of them lately were 120gb and the 250gb ide model recently removed from the case here. It's a slow process but everything was copied over.

I have Mepis, Gentoo, Knoppix, and two release of Mandriva(2006-2008 beta) where those were burned on an older build. Both releases of Mandriva would see it's own universal boot loader go on but fail to run seeing the request for a system disk.

The others wouldn't load at all on the newer dvd burner bought for the present case when built. Mandriva 2006 was running here on the last build when I had that installed on the first partition of the second ide model out of 4 HDs then.

With all that I still seem to find that the good old copy + paste method seems to go along faster then with any 3rd party softwares. I moved large video files and other things in complete folders in quite a bit less time then it took to copy entire partition off of a smaller drive. The copy + paste was about 420gb of files.
